Chattanooga Retractable Casters

Maximize the functionality of your workspace with Tru-Trac Retractable Casters. In many workshops and garages, heavy equipment often sits unused or takes up valuable floor space simply because it is too difficult to move. The Tru-Trac system solves this spatial challenge by offering the perfect balance between effortless mobility and absolute stability. These casters allow you to easily reposition heavy machinery to accommodate large projects, then quickly disengage the wheels to ensure your workstation is rock-solid and ready for precision tasks.

Unlike standard locking wheels that can still wiggle or slide under pressure, the Tru-Trac design lifts the wheels entirely off the ground when not in use. This means your workbench or tool stand sits firmly on its own legs, providing the rigidity necessary for sawing, sanding, or assembly work. When it is time to reorganize or clean up, a simple press of the foot pedal engages the smooth-rolling casters, allowing you to glide your equipment to a new location without physical strain.

Key Features and Benefits

• Tru-Trac Stability: Engineered to eliminate the "wobble" often associated with standard swivel casters. When the casters are retracted, your equipment rests directly on the floor on its original base, ensuring zero movement during high-vibration tasks like sawing or routing.
• Effortless Foot Pedal Operation: The intuitive foot-activated lever allows you to raise and lower the equipment using only your body weight. There is no need to bend over or lift the heavy table manually; the mechanism does the heavy lifting for you.
• Non-Marring Urethane Wheels: The high-quality wheel construction is designed to glide smoothly over concrete, tile, or wood floors without leaving black scuff marks or damaging the surface. They are durable enough to roll over small workshop debris like sawdust or metal shavings.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built to support substantial weight, the housing and mounting plates are crafted from thick-gauge steel. This ensures the casters will not buckle under the weight of heavy maple workbenches or cast-iron machinery.
• 360-Degree Maneuverability: Once engaged, the swivel action allows you to turn tight corners and fit equipment into narrow storage nooks, making them essential for small shops where space optimization is critical.
